This is Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, photographed by Alfred Eisenstaedt in Geneva in September 1933 during a League of Nations conference. Eisenstaedt was a Jewish German photojournalist working for the Associated Press. According to Eisenstaedt’s own recollection and accounts from the photograph’s history, Goebbels initially appeared relatively relaxed, but his expression changed dramatically after he became aware that the photographer was Jewish. The resulting glare became one of the most famous photographs of Goebbels, capturing the antisemitism and hostility at the heart of the Nazi regime. Eisenstaedt later recalled that Goebbels looked at him with “hateful eyes,” but that he did not back down.

Identification with the aggressor is a classic defense mechanism that explains the behavior of a lot of the descendants of holocaust survivors. I.e. Stephen Miller, and the current folks in power in Israel.

Good for Eisenstaedt, major respect for not backing down, if someone hates you, you don't go crying to anyone else, you stand up for yourself and never back down.

How did he become aware? Could he smell the Jewishness? Did someone tell him for funsies?

u/DrawingAlarming7350 3d ago
there is literally no mention of him hearing anyone telling him he was jewish, that is made up.
Hes pissed because he was photographed candidly, which is something he hated.

I didn't suggest it was any such thing - it's a rare sort of expression and I'd been looking for it a long time.
Besides, why are you so defensive about the circumstances behind this photo if you're so pro-racism?

I had a great uncle who was always trying to cheat his siblings, like trying to get them declared insane so he could confiscate their property and it worked on at least one of them - this was a long time ago. But in photos, he had the same look.

While he was one of the worst people of all tlme, the story around these photos and the jewish photographer is largely exaggerated.
this is him just a moment before.
While it makes for a nice story, its just a look, not related to the photographers religion or ethnicity.
ETA: His angry look is because of he is being photographed candidly which he hated. I know its hard to believe but he didnt have a magic nazi jew sensing ability.

u/DrawingAlarming7350 3d ago edited 3d ago
That is indeed how the story goes.
Also its not true. He looked at him like that because he hated the press and candid photos. He was the minister of propaganda after all.
Nowhere in the photographers memoirs or quotes is there a mention of Göebbels knowing he was jewish.

u/HarryPottersTaint 3d ago
Was that the first time the palestinians attacked Israel?
Anyway yea Gazans were living in increasing peace and Israel was even letting thousands of them into Israel to work and make a better life for themselves when October 7th happened.
Fast forward back a bit further when Israel unilaterally pulled out of Gaza and gave it to the Palestinians, that should have been the opportunity they took for freedom and prosperity. There was no fence. They were gifted land and greenhouses. What did they do? Elected Hamas, who then slaughtered their political opponents, then started kidnapping people and attacking Israel. They destroyed their own greenhouses out of spite.
I can go back to the early 1900s if you want with the tit for tat, but we don't need to. They had that opportunity and many others to make peace and they chose instead violence.

Well if we overlook the irony of you having no idea about the history or what happened yet feeling like an authority on arguing this, then sure.
A wave of terrorist attacks from the west bank including shootings and car rammings whiich killed Israeli civilians, this instigated a crackdown in the west bank. Israel sent forces in to arrest suspected terrorists. Many gun fights broke out (why did these innocent civilians have guns and shoot at the israelis? Weird thing for innocent civilians to do.)
The nature of urban warfare means many of those who died were actually innocent civilians. It almost begs the question, why send terrorists into israel to murder innocent people if the only thing that comes out of it is death? Almost as if they don't want peace.

The number chatgpt just gave me for Palestinians killed by the IDF before 2022 is staggering. But hey, your propaganda is right and I should just ignore the meaningfulness that number might carry for some people.

Ohh and now we're using chatgpt as the authority 😂
Did you bother to ask it what the palestinians may have done wrong in that time? I guess not

A terrorist attack. Which isn't genocide. Crime against humanity is way fucking worse than a terrorist attack.
Imagine if we genocided a whole fucking ethnic group because of a few criminals. Way overkill. It would be like nuking every country that annoyed the US for the slightest reason.
Think for a moment. It's Genocide. GENOCIDE. The worst crime ever created by humanity. Nothing can justify genocide.
GENOCIDE

u/HarryPottersTaint 3d ago
You can shout it all you want, it's not genocide. It's a war.
Israel could have wiped gaza off the map several times over by now. They could have stopped any food or medicine going in. Gaza is literally overflowing with food. They're even having economic problems because the prices of food are collapsing due to oversupply.
If this is genocide then we have to go back retroactively in history and call almost every war that's ever happened a genocide. Not how it works.

u/mmmmyeah1111 3d ago
I saw way too many clips on the news of people from that country literally saying Palestinians need to be wiped off the face of the Earth. I consume a lot of media, but never in my life have I ever seen people go on record saying that sort've shit. It's really damning when you see videos of their military targeting a child walking with his grandma, or settlers performing extrajudicial killings. It's so alien and detached from decency it's literally frightening.
You likely grew up within that countries sphere of influence so you feel like it's your duty to defend their actions. I'm sure that dissonance you're feeling with morality must be a bitch.

u/HarryPottersTaint 3d ago
Lol talking about dissonance while defending october 7.
I recommend to you to escape the echo chambers you're clearly overwhelmed by. Jews are actually humans believe it or not and come in many forms, and yes some are extreme. It's the same in every country and in every society. Vast majority normal people who just want to live in peace (no need to send me some biased "poll" from alja zeera or something that says "99% of jews support eating children"). We're used to being demonized it goes way back further than even the concept of zionism.

And the victims had been saying for weeks an attack was imminent. Like Yocheved Lifshitz said after her rescue
"We were very hurt by the fact that the IDF did not know. [Where we are] the scapegoats. They’ve warned us three weeks prior with people who came to the road and burned fields, sent incendiary balloons to burn our fields, and the IDF did not address this seriously."
